Kitchen Remodeling in Lemont

Kitchen remodeling in Lemont, set level from the floor up

Your kitchen remodel can be a refresh, a cabinet replacement in the same footprint, or a new layout. A refresh keeps the cabinets and swaps the backsplash, counters, sink and faucet, lighting, paint and hardware. Cabinet replacement adjusts the plumbing and electrical to the new boxes. A layout change opens walls, adds an island, relocates plumbing and electrical and lays a new floor, and all three are priced on one estimate.

We come into Lemont on I-355, Route 171 and Lemont Road, and work from State Street out to the houses on the hills and bluffs above the Des Plaines River and the I&M Canal. Houses built into a grade can settle unevenly, and a kitchen floor that looks flat can still fall off across a long run of cabinets. We check the floor with a laser before we order, set the base cabinets to the high point and shim the rest. Counters get templated after that, so the tops land on cabinets that are truly level.

What we handle in a Lemont kitchen

Our process for a Lemont kitchen

The free estimate includes a look at the floor, the walls you want gone and what sits below the kitchen. You get the scope in writing, and any condition we find once things are open, like a sagging joist, comes to you as a written change with a price before we do it. Before day one we tell you which days are loud and how long the sink and stove will be out. We finish with a walkthrough and a punch list we close out.

• Floor checked for level before cabinets go in
• Walls checked for load before removal
• Counters measured after cabinets are set
• Changes priced and approved in writing
• Dust contained to the kitchen
• A walkthrough and a closed punch list
